I bought the Playbook in the end, and I've been using it for 2 weeks - and I love it!

As I live with my Blackberry phone anyway, it works perfectly, and I love the fact whatever is on the phone is synced to the playbook. I spend a lot of time travelling so the 7" size is perfect!

Built in Word, Excel and Powerpoint do their job, and I worked on a fairly complicated spreadsheet on the train the other day with no problems, and it really is much easier to read emails on!

Also another advantage over the iPad is that you just drag and drop almost any format of film onto it and it just works, unlike iPad's set in stone format.

I thought I'd be really looking forward to the Os 2 platform, but I actually don't really care about it - if you have a Blackberry smartphone it's brilliant - if not, I wouldn't bother for the moment.

Interesting note on the QNX though.
